We are currently looking for an enthusiastic clinical or forensic psychologist (experienced or newly qualified) with an interest in older adults to join our locked rehabilitation ward in the Men`s Service.

You will be an HCPC registered Clinical or Forensic Psychologist looking for an opportunity to develop skills and knowledge in the exiting practice of clinical forensic psychology.

Our goal is to deliver effective and evidenced based interventions that improve mental health and reduce risk. You will have the opportunity to apply specialist psychological skills in the assessment, formulation and treatment of older adults with complex mental disorders (predominantly psychosis and/or personality disorder with or without organic disorders) in combination with the application of forensic models to treat and manage risk.

As a ward psychologist you will apply skills and expertise in clinical and risk assessments, collaboratively develop formulations; plan, sequence and deliver group or individual psychological interventions and consult to the MDT to enable our Service Users to improve their mental health, manage their risks and progress to greater independence.
